Uploading to Hackage Problems

I am trying to upload a new version of a package but I get a page saying “no authorisation provided” (the url is http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/candidates/) and I could find no way of logging in. The page http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/upload merely has a “choose file” button and an “upload package” button. Dominic Steinitz dominic@steinitz.org http://idontgetoutmuch.wordpress.com

What's you username?

You're on the uploader list at least. What does cabal upload -v3 say?

Doing it from the command line told me I was trying to upload an existing version but that’s not the error message you get if you use the web interface. So my problem is solved. I guess most people use the CLI?
Thanks for your help

I used both (more CLI nowadays). Feel free to file a bug at

You are probably using Safari from a Mac. Try using a different browser, e.g. Chrome, and you should be presented with the right authentication dialogue. Regards, Malcolm

Ha! That is indeed the problem. Thank you.
